Wingnut Ninja posted:Maybe rats was the one meal where the nobles get different food than the peasants, but it was always pretty good on a carrier. Usually dinner leftovers + breakfast stuff. Make a sandwich out of french toast, burger patty, and a cheese omelette and you have the whole rest of the night to regret it. We had only an untouched full pan of canned beats for 3 nights in a row until i scooped the entire pan onto my tray and threw it out in protest.

You know, asking for a friend. Big Decks have actual real Psychologists and therapists on board. If you're on one. Honestly though, talk to anyone. A Navy career isn't worth being horribly depressed.

But also having a cosistent job and not missing out healthcare/paychecks for my wife and kids is a always a bonus. However when I get accepted to Actove duty, I spend a month at the NOSC without pay/benefits for my family until I get a billet lmao. The last fuckin joke. Whats your rate again?

You're only going to big decks so the amenities aren't bad. PCS afloat job is loving boring and terrible. Thats why i crossrated. Ranking from my experience: 1. Watchfloor in Colorado [9141] 2. Watchfloor anywhere else [9102] 3. Dirsup [9102 Watchfloor...on a ship] . . . 99. Hell . . 456. PCS afloat [17xx series work]. Maintenance. Cranking. Ship fuckery.

Howard Phillips posted:I would avoid CTT and CTR like the plague. CTT is literally watching a 30 year old TV while at sea for hours at a time. CTT, if you get shore or direct support first, doesn't use the 40 year old refrigerator with a monitor stuck in it. The job is much nicer. Still doesn't translate out to civilian work unless you go govvie or contractor though

Thronde posted:In other news, gently caress the GTC. Why do we even need this poo poo. Why isn't it like the old days of "Here's your orders, flight itinerary, and hotel info. Be there." This isn't a cost saving measure and it sure as gently caress doesn't make poo poo easier. DTS is a loving nightmare and your DTS rep is guaranteed to be an awful person. It works well in some agencies for travel. I swapped responsibility from the Navy and DTS to the other org as soon as I could and it's been swell.

But yes now I have to pee in a bag if I need to go while I'm flying. I actually like A-10 drivers, CJ drivers, and AWACS dudes. Compass Calls are EW brothers of course. I mostly like AWACS guys because I hate the way they get poo poo on at every Red Flag debrief ever for stuff that was in no way their fault. I saw a 1LT get savaged at one and then of the F-22 guys stood up and basically gave that rear end in a top hat the business for making GBS threads on the 1LT for no reason. It was pretty awesome.

I'd rather test your words per minute on a keyboard. I loving love being buff and studly. I tried to convince all the fatties to enjoy it as well.

Geizkragen posted:Alright I finally have to wear the type I nwu after years of avoiding it. Red wings 4473 are close enough to work. Try em on. I have some and not entirely sure if they are worth the entire price premium as they are almost as heavy and the sole isn't that much better. It was worth it to say gently caress Bates for all the torture though. The uniform shop suede ones are lighter than the leathers if you are shore duty and no one cares. Just be aware, moving to the type 3 your command could authorize desert boots and then you're buying new ones all over again.
